Milei Government Abolishes Key Gender-Violence Support Programs

Formalized by Resolution 466/2025, the move responds to an audit report revealing extensive operational shortcomings.

Overview

  • Resolution 466/2025 published in the Boletín Oficial terminates the National Register of Gender and Diversity Organizations and the “Acercar Derechos” program.
  • An internal audit by the Ministry of Justice found that 38% of Acercar Derechos cases lacked follow-up, 75% of actions were outdated and 26% had no comprehensive strategy.
  • Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona labeled both initiatives “ideological structures” and credited a gender-neutral security policy with cutting women’s homicides by 14.3%.
  • The closures are part of a broader state restructuring that has eliminated over ten social and economic programs to reallocate resources toward empirically backed initiatives.
  • The 144 helpline was redefined as a general violence support line, prompting concerns about reduced tailored assistance for women and LGBTQ+ victims.
